Hmmmmmm. Their math is wrong. I guess that proves that I'm one of the nerds among usXD I didn't know fewer girls come to this site, and I would have thought most of the people would be teenagers do to free time, but I guess not

I'm not sure exactly how good the Google demographics are...this is just anecdata, but Google actually thinks I'm a 40ish year old man, when I am in fact a 20ish year old woman. I've actually talked this over with a couple of female friends who have also been pegged as guys. So, maybe it's more that a tendency to like TV Tropes dovetails with a list of tendencies Google associates with guys?

Why do the age demographic figures add up to 101%? or is my maths just really bad?

It probably has to do with rounding.

If it adds up to 101, it must have been rounded wrong at some point.

No, that kind of thing easily happens when figures are rounded and doesn't mean it's wrong. For instance, 10.4% + 10.4% + 79.2% = 100% exactly but the figures would be rounded off as 10, 10, 79 which adds to 99.

Also, Google's profile on me, and probably others, is schizophrenic. Thanks to Google Plus, they have my word that I'm a 20-something single male, but from my search history they're also pretty sure the person who uses my Google account is a 40-something housewife.
